I have an app that has been on the App Store since 2008. It’s free with an in app purchase to remove ads— I keep the app updated mainly out of personal interest and loyalty to my users. I have received legal threats ( coming through Apple legal) from another entity that they own the copyright to the name of the app. The developer is a large corporation based out of Europe and clearly their motivation is to drive all apps with a similar name out of the App Store so that searching the App Store by name only returns their app. There is no overlap in what the apps do except they are in the same wide overall category.I have no resources to fight this if it escalates to real legal action but it just irritates me being bullied. It’s not clear to me what role Apple legal plays in this. They seem to act more like an observer than a judge in this situation.Any advice would be welcome on how to deal with this.
